Tis the season to reflect on the past year, and to anticipate what could happen in 2024. What is working in your business? What needs to be fixed? Is growth happening at a rate that you are happy with? Is growth happening at all? Whew! Asking these questions can get exhausting.

But rather than get overwhelmed with all the questions, today we're talking about gratitude. Entrepreneurship comes with a lot of risk, but with that risk comes the potential to achieve the American Dream. Being gutsy enough to build a small business means you're probably doing something that you LOVE! You're also probably happier than those running the corporate grind. And that's the best gift you could give yourself this season.
